Pinay In Saudi Escapes Kidnapping As Bystanders Intervened And Saved Her
PINAY ESCAPES KIDNAPPING IN SAUDI – Overseas Filipino Workers, especially in the Middle East live a tough life.
For most, being an OFW looks like a glamorous occupation. But, there’s always a lot of sacrifices that go with leaving your family and loved ones.
Additionally, not all working environments in places such as Saudi Arabia are safe. As such, you’d often hear stories of employers abusing Filipina workers. This time, a Filipina OFW survived one of the most horrific experiences one could think of – a kidnapping.
In a viral CCTV clip, we can see the Filipina being forced into a car. However, the Filipina fought back with all her strength. Unfortunately, the size difference was too great and the kidnapper almost had her inside the car.
Thankfully, a bystander who saw the incident unfold rushed in to save the Filipina. The kidnapper tried to shut the door and make a quick escape. Fortunately, over 10 people joined the man that initially came to help.
The bystanders stormed the car and to stop the kidnapper from fleeing. Afterward, the kidnapper got out of his vehicle. In the CCTV footage, you could clearly see he was aggravated.
But, the bystanders didn’t give him a second to breathe. The moment he got out, bystanders started punching and kicking the kidnapper and the Filipina was saved.
Here is the full clip uploaded on social media site, Reddit:
Here are some of the comments from netizens regarding the video:
One time as I was waiting for subway (at night time) in New York, a man grabbed my arm and started forcefully pulling me away to God knows where. I yelled and yelled and asked for help and people would just stare as they walked by. He eventually left as he realized I wasn’t scared to put up a fight- but that day I lost quite a bit of faith in humanity.
i dont want to minimize the situation, but just today we had a discussion in class about the bystander effect. it’s strong amongst strangers. it literally only takes one person to step up to get people to help. my professor gave this advice: if youre in a situation like this, make eye contact with everybody that you can and repeat “i dont know this person” or “i’m being raped” or “i’m being kidnapped”, hell even “i’m being killed”. i’m so sorry this happened to you. absolutely nobody should ever have to experience that
